If street style during the last season of London Fashion Week was all about practicality and comfort, this season, it was all about statement shoes.
With a lot of the usual faves notably absent from the calendar, the odds were stacked against London Fashion Week this fall-winter season, but, in the end, creativity still prevailed both on and off the runway. Designers like Dilara Findikoglu and Paolo Carzana tapped into baroque theatricality for their respective shows, while Erdem and Simone Rocha looked to pastels and romanticism, and Burberry, Kent & Curwen, and S.S. Daley embraced British heritage with lots of plaid, knits, and trenches.
For the second season in a row, Pull&Bear sponsored NEWGEN, a talent incubator masterminded by the British Fashion Council (BFC) to support new and emerging talent. Designers like Chet Lo, Di Petsa, Lueder, Charlie Constantinou, and Sinéad O’Dwyer hosted a traditional show, while others like Karoline Vitto, Johanna Parv, Tolu Coker, and more opted for showcases and presentations. The brand also unveiled the first collaborations under the Canvas for Creativity initiative introduced last season, launching capsule collections with two NEWGEN recipients, with some of its pieces already trickling into the streets.
Off the runway, the inclement British weather that inspired Burberry’s latest campaign made attendees get creative with layering and unorthodox styling. Last season, we saw everyone gravitating towards comfy boots, flats, and sneakers, but this season it was the more, the better when it came to shoewear. Bedazzled Crocs, furry boots, studded ballerina flats, loafers, heels, as well as deconstructed sneakers from Ancuta Sarca made more than one appearance on familiar faces. (Hello, Alexa Chung.) Color-wise, blacks and browns took the spotlight, with blue and pink accents making us dream of spring.
